If you just spilled ink on your maxi dress, don’t panic. The steps to remove the ink stain are simple.

  • First, gently blot the area with a clean, damp cloth to absorb as much of the ink as possible.
  • Dab a small amount of liquid dishwashing soap onto the stained portion of the maxi dress.
  • Then, rub the fabric together in a circular motion. Do this for a couple of minutes.
